Skyfall Teaser Trailer: James Bond in Repose

Are you ready for some more action with James Bond? Well, just sit tight: In the stylish new trailer for Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes, there isn't very much slam-bam at all. Instead, you get some beautifully shot tableaus of Daniel Craig and Judi Dench looking pensive (photographed by ace cinematographer Roger Deakins) and a whole lot of mood ... which is certainly welcome after the hectic mess that was Quantum of Solace. It's a trailer as cagey and confident as Bond himself, and if it reveals new Bond villain Javier Bardem, it's just barely and only in silhouette. But yes, Daniel Craig is shirtless in it. Like they were going to leave that out?
